New Years Day





We live in Iowa and Iowa Caucus Day (Thursday) is almost here. The political scene is heating up something fierce. Depending on which poll you trust, either Clinton, Obama, or Edwards is leading the pack for the Democrats; and either Huckabee or Romney for the Republicans. Today we went to see Obama as he was at my daughter's school, and it is close to home. These are just a few photos that Alex snapped as she was 5 feet from him in the front of the stage, while I was about five feet behind him (sitting rather than standing, as I am neither young, nor stupid).
